Notes
'Vista' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Vista') is a vine for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It grows fast and blooms from early to late summer, which draws bees. Its production can extend into the fall as days get shorter.
Pairs well with Damsel tomato, Fern Leaf dill, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Nigra hollyhock.
